We booked a private tour for our family of four when we visited Boston this summer and it was AWESOME! Pat really knows the North End and designed the tour around my family's specific need-- we had a couple of 'tweens so instead of cocktails, Pat made sure each place had an equally delicious and beautiful mocktails waiting for them. He even snuck in a quick pitstop for a slice of pizza that the kids loved (and where we went back to eat the next night!). Not only were his choices amazing-- seriously, go hungry-- but the best part is how well he knows the North End and its history. I wish we could have spent the whole day with him, listening to his stories about the area and the all the traditions, etc. My only regret is that we we took our tour towards the end of our trip-- I wish we had done it the first day we arrived in Boston so we had more time to go back and eat at all the restaurants we visited on the tour. Pat really is great! If you go to Boston and want to know where you should eat while you are there, take this tour!!! You will love it and learn so much!

Great opportunity to try different drinks and desserts. Pat was very responsive and provided very personalized service. Very well organized. Small groups allowed us to engage with other people on the tour. Would recommend highly and already have to some friends.

SO FUN! I've been on a few history tours of Boston, but the history told in this tour was more fun-facts and alcohol-centric. The history was also told by tour guides that could basically also be comedians, because they had us laughing the entire time. This tour made me aware of so many North End secret spots! As a local, I return to those spots often! I especially loved the cannoli taste test at the end of the tour- what a great send-off!
